EIS Lovers Season IX Matchday 2

EIS Season High Player Attendance Record

Last week we recorded a season-high 28 players present at court. ESBN staffs were trying to organize each team with equal players and it was made possible just before the whistle of the second match.

If memory serves me right, the record was set on Season 8 when 30 players hit the court. Since the beginning of the league a couple of years ago, many records were broken. But most important of all, each season is always as entertaining as ever.

Matchday Report

Match 1 : Team 2 (31) 46 : 34 (7) Team 4
Team 2: Dennis 15 pts., Jay & Tor+ 12 pts.
Team 4: Wu 12 pts., Robin 7 pts.

After being beaten on matchday 1, Team 4 went on a shopping spree as Cal, John, and Hardeep were recruited to the line-up. Though with the changes, Team 4 couldn't gel not just that their offence didn't click, Dennis' penetration in the first half led the his team to a 24 point lead.

Second half was a different story as Team 2 rested their key players as Team 4 started to find their rhythm. Wu was completely exceptional as he both led defensively and caught fire hitting jumpers around and even behind the arc. The lead was finally slashed into single digits as Team 2 finally reinstalled their strongest line-up and was able to pull their first victory of the season.



Match 2 : Team 1 (17) 37 : 43 (20) Team 3
Team 1: Eddie 29 pts., Karun 6 pts.
Team 3: Joke, Tae+, Trin, & Wolfgang 8 pts.

With Benz missing, Team 3 had drafted Trin in his presence. The game was run in a slow tempo as Team 3 was unable to establish themselves in offense. Team 1 was the same story as the PGs fed Eddie hitting open jumpers around the court. Tight defense was what kept Team 3 in the game as they trailed 17-12 with 4 minutes remaining. But behind a tight defense, Team 3 finished the half with a 8-0 run with Joke grabbing three easy baskets.

Second half was the same story as Eddie leading the attack as usual. But with Team 3 forging a great team partnership as 4 players scored 8 points, and Dev hitting another 7 points, the scoring distribution was just too much for Team 1 to guard.
